S. 1349: Secure Traveler Act

116th Congress

A bill to expand enrollment in TSA PreCheck to expedite commercial travel screening and improve airport security.

Sponsor: Sen. John Thune — R — SD

Directs the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to develop a process so that law enforcement officers and people with active security clearances could enroll in the PreCheck program without going through the normal application process. PreCheck expedites the security screening process for commercial airline travelers. Under the bill, TSA would develop procedures to verify that applicants meet the qualifications in the bill. Applicants who qualify under the bill would still pay the applicable cost-recovery fees to TSA to participate in the PreCheck program.
